As an Equine and Animal-assisted therapy instruction Ranch our Mission and Philosophy is to be intentional in
our relationship with others to offer opportunities for improving balance, well-being, quality of life, trust, and
self-esteem through engaging in activities involving the whole body and mind.
Through their perseverance, our participants inspire instructors, volunteers, families, and communities to embrace inclusivity and recognize the value of enriching experiences for individuals with disabilities to enable healing in the mind, body, and spirit.
We firmly believe in creating a world where everyone can participate, learn, and grow, regardless of physical, cognitive, emotional, or spiritual abilities.
